Hi Julien,

Please move this package to xml.scm.

Could you use the “install-jars” procedure instead of this custom phase?

The license does not seem to be correct.  This is the license:

  http://www.extreme.indiana.edu/xgws/xsoap/xpp/download/PullParser2/LICENSE.txt

It looks like a variant of the BSD-4 license, so non-copyleft would be
appropriate here.  See also the Debian copyright file:
